Bird Person is dead, long live Phoenix Person.

 

ARB lockers, compressor, and manifold have been paid for today and will be here by end of next week.

Mobtown Sliders from groupbuy should be here within oh, 3 to 4 weeks.

 

you scored on those wheels

 

I agree, they were new condition besides a few spots on the rings. The spots weren't caused by rocks or offroading, but by someone impatient who took the tires off of them. Still like new condition.

I think I scored better on the lockers and compressor lol.

<---- Pics are incoming.

 

So Friday night I headed down to PCB from Central Alabama. I stayed at a family camper on a fenced in acre lot.

I met a fellow forum member and bought some RCI Skids. All 3 center skids and fuel tank skid for 600.

I drove the TDI and packed enough food I only ate one fishy meal lol. So all in all I had about 30 bucks in the trip. Cheers

Still waiting on ARB and Mobtown.

Here's a link for you guys who also buy used skids.

I'm excited guys. Awesome pics better be coming tomorrow!

 

Now to find how I wanna mount this compressor. If I'm ever caught on the side of the road with a flat peoples gonna see me weilding an air impact changing tires.

Manifold is now being shipped. It wasn't in stock when purchased.

What I'm hoping finished product looks like. Undecided if I wanna pony up 140 and some change for the Slee bracket shipped to me.

Edit - I ponied up and paid 140 and some change for bracket. Ugh

 

Exhaust reroute and flattening of a skid plate coming soon. Lol

At least exhaust isn't touching skid now.

 

How deep do I have to go to launch that boat?

 

Till I get my switch panel there will be some dangle. Also got manifold and compressor mounted using Slee Off-road mounting bracket. Let me say how much of a pain it is to get the manifold on. The compressor you can put on brace then mount it, it you try it with the manifold you'll have a hard time reaching bolts on inner fender.

 

Got a shipment yesterday.

Washed with Dawn and rattle can sprayed for about 20 bucks.

Now when crawling at the mall I don't have to worry about assholes opening their doors into me.

 

Got both sides on and tightened. Now I gotta get some friends to help me smash. Lol

Oh and @Mobtown Offroad shwag

 

Sub. I'm here now.

 

Just getting ready for Moab 2018

 

Finally an update. Nothing extravagant just the

$584 CKMTA12 '12V' On-Board Twin High Performance Air Compressor, Ideal for Air Lockers Locking Differentials, Tire Inflator, Air Horn, Air Tools and Pneumatic Tools.

CKMTA12 functioning.

Also note I'm not counting the hoses and air accessories apart of the build budget because I can move them from vehicle to vehicle or in the shop.

 

Please don't drive in rivers just to drive in rivers.
